But I guess when you are made to look foolish, accusing a poster of having multiple accounts is a safe play for you.

I noticed you won't discuss the football aspect of this anymore.

Gottcha.

I said my piece about the football aspect. I moved on and said what I've been thinking about you for quite some time because I'm tired of watching you dance between "it's about whit" and "it isn't about whit". Keep dancing, puppet.

Yeah. It's foolish to think the team in 2017 would benefit from a top 5 offensive lineman on the roster. We'd rather have a WR3 and horrible CB who tells cops to suck his crank.

I feel bad for the guy.  He's certifiable,  and it rocks to F with him.

Sure they could have kept Whitworth, but then we likely would have also had to keep Peko and Maualuga around, and not signed Lafell, Andre Smith, and Kevin Minter. Sure, they could have appeased all of the morally superiors around here and cut Adam Jones, but Jones is a tremendous value for his price. Football and football finance wise, cutting Jones would have been stupid.

They can still draft OL, in case Ogbuehi continues to not impress. Signing Whit to a large deal, at this point in his career, would have handcuffed the team financially when it comes time for other re-signings.

No playoff wins,  O line deteriorating,possible decreased playing time here,short term contract offered, change of scenery.

He didn't want to leave.

If we re-signed whit for way too much (because the contract he got at his age was stupid)and he suffers his inevitable drop off this year or next, what tune are you singing?

And I bet you'd be first in line.

Lol he is the best left tackle in the game every one knows that OG is complete crap and can not replace him. You say his contact is outrageous but it really wasn't and if he is past his prime then the Rams can simply cut him and move on without losing that much  money. Plus I said during the offseason they should have tagged him and work on a  deal for 2 years. Its not baseball or basketball where your stuck with a guy for their whole contract.

Why would they have to keep Peko and Rey?

Maualuga wasn't released, until after Minter was signed to the team.  If the Bengals blow big money on Whit, they sure as heck aren't signing Kevin Minter, and Maualuga is rolled out for yet, another season.

Don't really have any good explanation for Peko, other than I just threw him in there for good measure.

The contract Whit got was very shrewd.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/andrew-whitworth-1388/

The Rams get a Top 5 LT for less than the transition tag. If his performance falls off the face of the earth the Rams can cut him after next season with only $5.8 million in dead money which could be split over two seasons.

The Bengals were idiots for not doing that deal.
